Grounded!

Grounded!
A first look at Runswick Bay, another North Yorkshire coastal village. Here we are on the front with the old Lifeboat Station now housing the locally subscribed Rescue Boat. No doubt the canoes and such like are operated by and for the local community youth. I suspect now though that much of this is curtailed in our present C19 safety conditions.

"Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station was a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat station located in Runswick Bay in North Yorkshire, England. The station was opened in 1866, with a sister station opening at Staithes nine years later. Staithes Lifeboat Station was closed in 1922, and barring another short period of operation at Staithes, Runswick Bay was a mainstay of lifeboat operations on the Yorkshire coast until 1978, when Runswick Bay was closed and Staithes was re-activated.
The local population re-started a lifeboat in Runswick Bay in the early 1980s and this now functions as the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat (RBRB), which operates in conjunction with all rescue services on the coast and is part of the HM Coastguards' emergency activation process in the area" WiKi

Yes, its good that at least some good is still coming of it here. Sad that it was scrapped in the first place though.

Cheers, Herb

Thanks Peter. thankfully my back had recovered enough for this trip. An unusual week as we stayed in a large static caravan, something we had not done for a while now. Anyhow it was great. Quite isolated and so safe for us. We explored a few places and did a lot of coastal cliff walking. also saw the NYMR steam trains at Grosmont.

Keep safe and good. Herb
